7. How to find out the password for your Wi-Fi in several ways. The simplest way to find out your Wi-Fi password

Hello admin! When we get to know, we have a router and we want to connect a new tablet to the Wi-Fi network, but the virtual network key does not remember each other. Having tried to go to configure the router using the additional 192.168.0.1, my friend also forgot the password in the admin panel of setting up the router. Having contacted a friend, reset the router settings to factory settings via the Reset button and set them up again, if you don’t want to. I also have a laptop with Windows 10 installed and have Wi-Fi connections, so can you help me with the assigned Wi-Fi password?

How to find out the Wi-Fi password on your computer

Hello friends! If you want to connect a tablet, laptop or smartphone to your virtual network, but have forgotten your Wi-Fi password, then you can easily set it up in a number of ways, in this article I will point out three simple ones.

Find out the Wi-Fi password using the command line

The first method is the simplest and most foolproof, but you will need to remember two commands.

Open the command row under the administrator name.

At the command line window, enter the command:

netsh wlan show profiles (the command is given to show all saved profiles of the client or, in other words, the names of available Wi-Fi networks (access points)). As a matter of fact, in my opinion there is only one profile available under the name - DIR-300.

If I set up my D-Link DIR-300 router, then I decided to name the Wi-Fi access point and simply name it DIR-300.

I’ll enter the command, and my output will look like this:

netsh wlan show profiles DIR-300 key=clear

You will need to replace the word DIR-300 with the name of your Wi-Fi network and everything, for example, if the name of your Wi-Fi network (SSID) is the word Zaxodite vse, then you need to enter the following command:

netsh wlan show profiles Zaxodite vse key=clear

After entering this command, various parameters will be displayed in the command row window, including security settings, where the security key (Wi-Fi password) will be displayed.

The Wi-Fi password can be found in the “Security” section of the authorities of the drone-free border.

It’s also the simplest and most common way to use cobs.

Right-click on the drone-free surveillance icon in the system tray, and then click on the “Care Center for surveillance and surveillance” button.

"Changing adapter settings".

Click the left mouse button on the Wi-Fi wireless adapter icon.

We press the button “Power of the dartless border”.

Embossed on the “Safety” button.

Select the “Display characters to be entered” checkbox.

I need a key to ensure Wi-Fi security!

Recognizable Wi-Fi password in router settings

The third method is simpler, you need to go to the admin panel for setting up the router, it’s even simpler to do so. Turn the router upside down and marvel at the sticker with everything written on it. For example, IP addresses (call 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1), and the password/login for access to setup is admin and admin (as you haven’t changed them).

How to find out the password for Windows 7

In order to look up the Wi-Fi password in Windows 7, you need to click with your mouse on the drone-free icon located on the right-hand panel, in addition to the date and time indicator. Then next go to "Control center for borders and private access". Whenever you need to work, select the column “Management of dartless lines” from this window. After this you need to go to "Vlastivosti" your Wi-Fi connection. For which trace, see the window that has opened, and press RMB (right mouse button), then select the appropriate item. For a new account you need to select the column "Safety", in each track select the item “Display characters to be entered.” After this, you can look at your current password in the password row (Security Key).

How to find out the password in Windows 8

For a person who has forgotten the Wi-Fi password in Windows 8, finding it won’t be particularly difficult. To do this, you just need to move the bear cursor from the bottom to the top of the bottom right corner of the screen. In the deposit you need to select the item "Parameter". Then click the bear at the end "Merezha". Once a list of dartless lines is available, you will need to select the one that is connected. Open the traces of the clicks with the right mouse button. This will allow you to enter the dartless range menu. Then you need to select the column "Wonder at the power of connection". After which a window will open in which you need to open the item "Safety". For which section of the track, select the item “Display characters to be entered.” This will help people who have forgotten their Windows 8 password and will easily marvel at it.

How to marvel at Windows XP

What do you need to do if you forget the Wi-Fi security key on a computer running Windows XP? For whom you need to go to "Start" then press it on the column "Control panel". Then, select the item from the window "Meister of the dartless line". After this, the new window needs to be clicked on “Dali”. After which it is necessary to indicate the row “Add new computers and devices”. Then you need to work on the next step: select the manual setting (dartless range), click “Next” and after completing the action click on the graph "Adjust parameters and boundaries". After this, the Notepad utility will open, where you can see the Wi-Fi security key. In this case, the password will be written as follows: “Merezhi keys (WEP/WPA key)”. In this case, it is necessary to remember that using a similar method, if you forget the password for a Wi-Fi network on Windows XP, you can only check for evidence of a previously connected droneless network to your computer. If the fencing is installed behind an additional fencing cable, it will not be possible to work as long as Notepad does not allow you to forget your password. For this type of information, look for information about the new trace in the router settings.

Find out the password for the router settings

If a person has forgotten the password for the Wi-Fi network, you may be able to find the necessary information about it in the router settings. However, in this situation there is a problem - How can I get into the settings of the router if I have forgotten the password? You won't get anything useful in this situation. It is enough to vict away the low offensive actions.

It is necessary to connect the router to the computer using an additional edge cable, which is included with the device itself. After connecting the router, you need to enter the following values ​​in the address bar of your browser: "192.168.1.1." . Next, enter your name and password to access the setup.

In the window you need to know the column "PSK Password:" . On the contrary, you will save your password.

Why bother if nothing helps?

Since the data has not been changed, as was already written earlier, try the “admin” login password to enter the Wi-Fi router settings. These are the standard data for many models. If you don’t want to leave, it’s important to work on the initialization data on the device itself.
The only thing that stops working is because you forgot your password, and every time you find more ways to do it, you won’t be able to log out until you reset the router. For whom is it necessary?

Wi-Fi technology provides access to the Internet without the need for external cables. In addition, this connection method protects the local Wi-Fi network with an individual password, so you don’t have to worry about saving special data. Ale yak buti, yakshcho this password was wasted or forgotten? Windows 7 has a number of tools that can be used to obtain all the information you need to collect about your wireless connections, including your password.

Retrieving a Wi-Fi password through setting up a drone-free network

Retrieving the Wi-Fi connection password for additional setup of the router

In addition to Windows system tools, the installed user has another way to retrieve information about the Wi-Fi network password - setting up the router. This capability is available in routers of all types and models.

TP-Link

This is the route of Chinese production that has been released since 1996. The maximum speed of Wi-Fi data transmission for various models of such routers ranges from 150 to 2200 Mbit/s. Price range – from 1200 to 25000 rubles.

To retrieve information about the Wi-Fi network password, use the following:


Retrieve the Wi-Fi password using the additional software

In addition to the obvious ways to extract information about setting the password for a drone-free network, there is another possibility of obtaining data about a network connection - using a third-party software. There are a lot of programs for this on the Internet. Let's take a look at their most popular ones.

Remember that all responsibility for the efficiency of the programs presented, as well as for saving personal data when using such software security, lies entirely on your shoulders.

WirelessKeyView

You can download the program on any website with cost-free software security. Download, unzip and launch WirelessKeyView, then in the program window find the name of your Wi-Fi network, and in the Key (Ascii) column enter the password to log in.

The WirelessKeyView program is designed exclusively for capturing information about drone-free surveys; it is impossible to change the settings of the surveys in it.

Features of WirelessKeyView:

  • automatic search for available resources immediately after starting the program;
  • local support for the Russian one;
  • completely cost-free;
  • file size ~ 0.6 MB;
  • Possibility of exporting data in text, html and xml formats;

WiFi Password Decryptor

The distributors of these programs do not share the official website through which they can be downloaded from third-party resources:


Features of WiFi Password Decryptor:

  • completely cost-free;
  • There are versions for 32 and 64-bit Windows OS;
  • it is necessary to install the client program on the PC;
  • available data export in text, htm and xml formats;
  • there is no Russian influence;
  • Installer size ~ 3.5 MB, installed version ~ 7 MB.

When using third-party programs, a positive result is never guaranteed. From personal knowledge, I can say that the WiFi Password Decrytor utility crashes from time to time. They can appear in different ways. Some programs cannot recognize the active connection to the drone-free line. It may happen that when you press the Start Recovery button, the utility freezes (the solution will be to reinstall the programs). If you recently changed the Wi-Fi network password, the program can see the old password after searching for the old password (“rejoice”, this problem will resolve itself in about an hour). Sometimes in the exported file the letters are replaced with hieroglyphs (re-exporting is required).

WiFi Password Revealer

In addition to previous programs, this utility is available through the official website of the distributors.


Features of WiFi Password Revealer:

  • supports Russian language;
  • universal, cost-free version for all versions of Windows;
  • є ability to change password settings directly from programs;
  • does not require the client to be installed on the PC - works in offline mode;
  • file size ~ 2.5 MB;
  • Data export is supported in text, html and xml formats.

SniffPass

This utility is intended primarily for streamlining Internet traffic; its functionality allows you to revoke access to the passwords of peripheral connections.

Follow these lines:


Features of SniffPass programs:

  • completely cost-free;
  • There is no need to install on your PC, the file size is ~ 100 KB;
  • does not support Russian language;
  • Every day more information from Windows 7 OS;
  • є ability to save data extraction from text, html and xml formats;
  • For correct operation, you need to install the Windows WinPcap installation drivers.

If we compare the presented programs based on such parameters as efficiency, user-friendliness of the interface, visibility of additional functions and speed of detection of active measures, then, in the opinion of the author of the article, the most stable and shortest ones are WirelessKeyView and WiFi password revealer .

A drone-free connection to the Internet via Wi-Fi compared to cable connections has both advantages and disadvantages, which can lead to unacceptable results. One of the problems may be losing your login password before the end. However, using the new tools and system settings of Windows 7, as well as other third-party programs, you can easily detect forgotten or lost passwords without having to contact service providers.

If you have configured your router, or in the instructions for changing passwords, I recommend writing down the password that you set on your home Wi-Fi. Or set a password that you definitely won’t forget, otherwise you are guilty of not being reliable. As you understand, it’s not enough to bother anyone, I honestly don’t write anything down :) And the password, it’s such a thing that if you forgot it, it’s even difficult to guess, you’ll try a bunch of options and won’t come up with anything. And now you just need to connect a new device to your Wi-Fi. In this article, I will tell you that you need to work in such situations. How to remember a forgotten password for a Wi-Fi network, and marvel at it in setting up your computer or the router itself. I will try to write thoroughly about all the nuances, possible problems, and not say anything.

How can you find out your forgotten password for your Wi-Fi:

  • Look at the password on the configured computer that you have already connected (or connected) before the event, the password will need to be recognized.
  • Check the password for your Wi-Fi router.
  • Get rid of the router, configure it again and set a new password.

Let's start with the simplest thing, especially with a computer. If you have a laptop (or PC with adapter), which has already been connected to your Wi-Fi, or at the moment of connections, then all of us will be able to find a password that we have successfully forgotten.

I seem to have forgotten the Wi-Fi password on my computer: Windows 7, 8, 10

Who cares, how do you know the password on your computer? Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10 are not easy to work with, but XP has its own problems. Let's take a look at the new version of Windows first. On the whole, everything is practically the same.

Respect! Your computer, for which you want to guess the key to the limit, may be connected to the limit. If you have connected to it before, please go ahead. If you do not have such a computer, go directly to the section where you will see the password in the router settings.

And one more point: If you don’t want to bother with adjustments, you can try everything with the WirelessKeyView program, about which I wrote a little below.

Visit Control center for barriers and access.

Sivba is being collected Managing dartless lines.

You will see a list of all successful connections that you have previously connected to. Find the limit where you need to guess the password, click on it with the right mouse button and select Powerful.

In a new window, go to the tab Safety, put a tick on the item Display the characters to be entered and in the field Security key We marvel at our password.

Let's take a quick look at the possible problems that you can solve.

What does it do if the item “Keruvana with dartless lines” is missing, and after checking the box the password is not displayed?

These are even more popular problems. You may not be able to manage drone-free networks if you don’t have Wi-Fi set up on your computer. (For such a guy, you definitely won’t be able to figure out the password in this way) Or, I read here that you can also do this through the home version of Windows. Why bother, since there is no control over dartless lines? You can figure out the password through the router, read about it below, or try working it out like this:

You can see everything in one mind: you must connect to the extent that you want to change the password.

If after checking the “Display characters when entering” checkbox, the password does not appear, then try to see it in the router settings. Or try on another computer if it is possible.

How to find the Wi-Fi password in Windows XP? Vikorist's program WirelessKeyView

As I’ve already written more, it’s a little easier with XP. In principle, you can see everything there, but it’s not as easy as on Windows 7. Therefore, I encourage you not to go online, but to quickly use the cost-free WirelessKeyView program. As far as I can tell, this is how things work best in new versions of Windows. Why bother with the little WirelessKeyView program? It displays all the connections up to which the computer on which you started it was previously connected. Well, of course, it displays saving your password until later.

Everything is very simple. You can download the program from the official website http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/wireless_key.html. We open the archive and run the file "WirelessKeyView.exe". The program opens, we search there for our measure (on our name), and in the field Key (Ascii) I wonder the password before it. It looks like this:

Wait a minute, everything has become so simple. On Windows 7 and 8, you don’t have to worry about finding the password in settings. It’s a really good program, especially for retailers. Of course, your antivirus can cook on it. Chantly, through these little bits of shpigunsky recognition.

Where is the Wi-Fi password in the router settings?

Another reversal method. Since you can set a password in the router settings, you can see it there. If you log in and can’t log out, you can set a new password. If you were unable to find the key in your computer’s settings, there is no computer connected via Wi-Fi, and the WirelessKeyView program also failed, then only the router itself is lost. Well, let’s get rid of it, but it’s already an extreme failure.

Even better, this method means that you can go into the settings on your phone or tablet. For the record, they are already connected. It’s just that the password won’t work on a mobile device, but I don’t know how to get it. I would like to have some programs for Android (although there is no need to get Root rights for everything).

I think the best way to show it is to look at the password on the router of a particular device. Let's take a look at the most popular companies.

We can see the key to Wi-Fi network on Tp-Link

Let's start with Tp-Link routers. We need to come in before we fix it. Connect to the router via cable or Wi-Fi (which is very unlikely, even if you don’t know the password :)). The browser is set to the address 192.168.1.1 (possibly 192.168.0.1) and specify the username and password. For instructions - admin and admin.

To look at the installation key, go to the tab Wireless- Wireless Security (Dartless mode protection). In the field Wireless Password a password will be provided.

We can guess the password on Asus routers

Everything is approximately the same. Let’s go to the tune-up, if you don’t know how, then. The addresses are vikorized the same way - 192.168.1.1.

When configured, there is an item on the head screen System mill, the password is indicated there. Just place the cursor near the field "WPA-PSK key". The axis is like this:

Before speaking, you may need more.

Finding out forgotten password on D-Link

How to earn money, I already wrote in the statistics: . Hello, I couldn’t help but write about it here, even though D-Link is even more popular. So, it’s okay for us, and go to the tab WiFi - adjusting safety. In the field "PSK encryption key" Please provide the password.

Wondering the password for ZyXEL

Go to the settings of your ZyXEL Keenetic router, as you can do this by writing. Go to tab Wi-Fi network(bottom) and in the field "The Key of the Merezha" You will find out the password that you set and the one you forgot.

I forgot the password on my Tenda router

So on Tenda routers it’s the same, go to the tab Wireless settings - Wireless Security and in the field "Key" I wonder the password.

On a Linksys router

Let's take a closer look at Linksys' devices. Everything follows the diagram: , Go to the tab Bezdrotov's measure - Safety of the dartless line. In the field "Identification phrase" the password for the Wi-Fi network has been entered.

The axle and everything, as you say, nothing foldable.

Why bother if nothing helped?

I think that there is only one way left, which is to reset all the passwords for your router and set everything up again. You can set up the instructions, which you will find on our website in the “Setting up the router” section.

I'm trying to find all the possible ways to update your Wi-Fi password on this page. If it didn’t work out for you, or some points in these statistics are not very clear, write about it in the comments, we’ll figure it out. Well, of course, I will be very grateful for new and useful information about this.

I'll show you how to quickly find out the password for your Wi-Fi. There is nothing terrible in the fact that you forgot about it. This situation often occurs among simple traders. Finding a way out of it is even simpler, especially if you are connected to Wi-Fi from any device. However, if you do not have access from devices, this information can still be recognized.

I will demonstrate 5 ways to recognize it:

  1. When Wi-Fi is connected.
  2. When vimknenomu.
  3. Have configured the router.
  4. For additional help.
  5. On an Android mobile device.

The password will not be recognized only if you have changed or forgotten the authorization data for setting up the router and you have no devices that would like to connect to your Wi-Fi once. This time you will have to reset the adjustment again.

Administrator rights are required for all operations.

Find out the password for Windows 7, 8 on your computer

If Wi-Fi is connected

Right-handed and at the bottom, in the recess of the desktop, find the icon shown below and press it on it. Then see your measure ( write connected). Go to Power in the context menu.

By selecting the “Security” tab, click on the icons to be entered and the circles will be replaced. The row of security keys is the same as the password.

If there are no icons, click on the empty space in the lower right panel with the right mouse button, and then select “Adjust icon notifications” from the list. Then select “Show icon and notifications” as shown below.


Is Wi-Fi connected?

This method is used if you want to log in to Wi-Fi with the device once. On the right is that Windows remembers Wi-Fi in which input was created. This is designed for automatic login, so you don’t have to enter your data right away.

To complete this, go to the Start menu >> Internet Panel. Select browse categories and go to the Internet.


Then go to the center of the village along the lines.

Find out the password for additional programs

The most popular handy program for this is WirelessKeyView. Get them from the official website. Installation is not required. Just run the desired file.

The antivirus may reveal problems. This is because the program denies access to passwords. So turn it off at some time.

After starting, a window will appear in which the password will be displayed ( at the right stop).


If other methods do not suit you, then there is a universal solution. Look at the password in the router interface.

Find out the password through the router

Go to the office.

If Wi-Fi is not connected, then connect the router to the computer via the interconnect cable, which is also included in the kit.

To do this, enter the IP address in the browser row. You can marvel at the box, which is located below. I'm showing the butt on the D-link.


  1. Login: admin
  2. Password: admin

If you have adjusted the data and you do not remember them, then in this case only the adjustment will help.

Then go to Wi-Fi >> Security. Here you can find the PSK encryption key. This is the Wi-Fi password. It may be different for you, as the devices are different for everyone, or similar. Look for similar points.


Find out the password on Android mobile devices

This method is suitable for both phones and tablets. Head of mind, I would like to log in to Wi-Fi once.

It is necessary to make clear the rights of a super-koristuvach ( root). Without it, no way.

If you have a stink, follow these steps:

  1. You can unlock a special program by showing the password ( for example, WiFi Key Recovery). Get started and launch it.
  2. You can marvel through the file manager ( for example, total commander). Open it and go along the road /data/misc/wifi And find the file in this folder wpa_supplicant.conf. Open it with a text editor ( for example, QuickEdit) and there you will find a row of psk values. This is the password for the measure.

If you don’t want to go out, ask in the comments.
